The leadership of the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) in Bukonzo County West, Kasese district has resolved not to support the dissolution of the party and creation of a new one.
Last month, FDC members subscribing to the Katonga faction during their conference resolved to first dissolve the party and then form a new one codenamed “People’s Front for Freedom.”
Speaking to the press shortly after a constituency conference that was held over the weekend at Hard Rock Gardens in Nyabugando Ward, Mpondwe – Lhubiriha Town Council, Mr. Edson Bumenze, one of the FDC Senor Cadres in Bukonzo County West, appealed to the party supporters not to go by the idea of forming a new political party but remain committed to the original party.
According to him, such divisions should be avoided if the party is to win the 2026 General Elections.
Ronald Kabuku, the Kasese FDC Chairperson called upon the party supporters to remain neutral and avoid following the Katonga faction resolution.
Patrick Kyamanduma, one of the party supporters and a parliamentary hopeful for Bukonzo County West, called for unity of the party is to become stronger.
The conference which attracted by over 300 party supporters and leaders from Bukonzo County West, was presided over by the Vice President of the FDC party in-charge of Western Uganda, Robert Franco Centenary, who asked the members to remain strong.
